Starting from Baghio he travell ed over the Bontoc Road by motor car and on to Lubungan where his real adventuring began, The road to Lubagan is passable for a small matcamobile during the dry season as the average width of the road is four meters, and is safe for any careful driver.

Changing China
A quarterly non-political review of life and conditions in China.

Changing China is an interesting and useful quarterly. The articles which it contains have been written in the form of letters by men and women of various ranks of life who are living in the interior of China. They are not professional writers with any axe to grind but are describing what they have actually seen and experienced. The reader gets a picture or rather a series of pictures of life in Modem Chlia, and the same a resume of the progress made in industrial development during the past quarter

MR. M. K. LO'S APPEAL FOR
REBUILDING SCHEME
Mr. M. K. Lo in, continuing his address to the local Rotary Club on Tuesday, on the subject of the Tung Wah Hospital, gave an interesting account of the reconstituting of the Institution in 1896, and the immense progress that it has made sincs that time. In 1831 and 1932 the numbers of out-patients were 491,000, and 160,300 or more than half the population of the Colony.
Mr. Lo referred to the plan for rebuilding the old wards of the Tung Wah Hospital and made an eloquent appeal on behalf of this excellent object, and in conclusion paid cordial tribute to the help and support that had always been received froți leading members of the Government.
RECONSTITUTION IN 1896
Mr. Lo in continuing his
address said:
When I had the honour to servo on the Tung, Wah in 1929, I came across a copy of the Report of the i Commission appointed by His Ex- cellency Sir William Robinson in 1896 to enquire into the working and organisation of the Hospital. | It Was absorbingly interesting. From a copy which was kindly lent to us by the Hon. Mr. J. F. Braga, we had re-printed the reports of the Commissioners, omitting how- PVer the voluminous appendices, and the evidence taken. We con- tributed a short Introductory Note to the Re-print, from which I: ven- ture to quote the following:-

"The history of the Institution, from its incorporation to the pre- sent time, would be of permanently interest, but the materials necen- sary for its compilation have not been preserved in the archieves of the Hospital. Fortunately Mr. Chap Yik War, who has been secretary to the Hospital since 1899, and whose knowledge of its affairs has been of service to "us, was able to find, amongst his own papers, copies of the "Ching Shan Luk" from 1895 onwards, from which we have extracted certain data (printed at the end of this Report) which provide an illuminating account of the growth of the Institution from that time to the present,
